Hey, we added a couple of male bloggers here…I thought we were supposed to be man-hatin’ banshee feminists? It’s surprising but true, though, that some people with a Y chromosome and a penis can actually care about social justice. Say howdy to Ally Fogg and our very newest addition, Tauriq Moosa, who helpfully explains how …

Around FtB
What’s going on, gang? Stephanie discusses a common fallacy about harassment. Avicenna finds an MRA woman making excuses for pedophilia. I need to shower now. Aron debated a creationist rapper. I’m hoping it was a rap battle. Ashley is getting all miscellaneous up in her place. Brianne is in Belize. I am envious. Black Skeptics …

Around FtB

New Rule
You’ve all seen it, the increasingly common inept attempt people make to defuse valid criticism of their untenable positions.

…that I was responsible for the Thunderf00t fiasco here?

EllenBeth Wachs recounts her experiences
She has posted a summary of her experience commenting here — entirely from her perspective of course, but worth a look. My position: I think she was completely wrong on the Adria Richards issue. She was looking at it entirely from the position of a conference organizer, who prioritizes not rocking the boat and keeping …

John Wilkins sells out
He’s willing to restart Evolving Thoughts if someone can monetize it for him. Come on, people, he’s a philosopher — you know he’s going to come cheap.
